2. Who the fuck are we to say he's got no right to have nukes? We can bomb him to stop him from having nukes, but we're deluded idiots to say Iran has no right to have whatever weapons it wants to have. Considering Iran's list of powerful enemies, the country would be batshit crazy NOT to seek nukes.
I've never been comfortable with the term "Sunni Insurgent" either. They ran the country. We bombed it and took it over and they're the "insurgents" for trying to win back the power they had? WTF? WE, not Iraqis fighting us, are the aggressors in a foreign land.
This is an issue of picking sides. We pick our side because we want our soldiers to succeed. But we're not on the side of good or evil. We're on the side of our interests. Nothing more, nothing less. And the "good guy v. bad guy" fiction so many idiots in this country slap onto these geopolitical strategy moves, which Iraq is, is just so ludicrous.
It's the same flawed moron mindset that calls victims of any attack "heros," even if they did nothing save being victimized.
